mount gay rum visitor's centre

我们是坐车去的,车会在路的尽头停下,再步行两分钟就能到那儿。大概十点半到那儿,旅行十一点整才开始,我们就在商店逛了会儿。旅行持续了五个半小时,我们在那儿吃了午饭,美味可口还不贵,那儿的朗姆酒口感特好,要是你喜欢朗姆酒,一定会觉得窖藏的老酒简直就是世间少有啊。回去时我们在机场买了一瓶,快点喝完就能快点到巴巴多斯了。

这是参观朗姆酒工厂的好方式,在酒吧里能喝到好酒,能看到纪录片,有漂亮的建筑内饰,这是个一流的地方。我们是一早就去的,这次的旅行不错,没有太多人参观。这里的员工很友好。在这里的礼品商店能买到Mount Gay朗姆酒。到这里是度过1 - 1.5小时时光的好方式。

如果你来这里的话,要参加他们的午餐行,首先上来就是一顿朗姆酒,喝完继续。在逛了礼品商店后,会有导游带你参观,包括观看一段怎样制作朗姆酒的短片,接下来就是品尝他们的酒。品尝的酒很多,一点都不抠门,你会感受到不同的朗姆酒的。之后是去酒瓶厂,你会看到很多瓶子,不过我参观的时候酒瓶厂没有在工作。再下来就是去吃饭了,食物种类比较多,能满足大部分人。吃饭的时候竟然还会给你上酒,希望你不会喝多。饭后再去逛礼品店,最后离开。我建议你跟团来的时候把这个作为行程的一部分,因为你肯定不能开车回去了呀。

We are sailors - we drink rum and Mount Gay is our rum of choice! We were looking forward to this tour and enjoyed every minute. Our guide had a great sense of humor, the tasting was terrific, the film (8 minutes) was interesting, but....we had toured Saint Lucy Distillery several days before and truly enjoyed walking around the sugar plantation, seeing the "home movies" of the old days, having rum punch as well as a rum tasting and a great gift shop. We did not see much at the in-town location of the Mount Gay tour with the exception of the bottling plant. If you have no attachment to Mount Gay and only plan to do one tour, Saint Lucy should be your choice (Sorry Mount Gay - we still love you!).

Worth a trip if you have never done it before. Interesting and entertaining and worth a couple of hours of your time specifically if you are a rum drinker lol

Had lots of great rum punch everywhere. Go here for a relaxing cocktail. Wonderful concoctions, worth the stop.

The explanations were very good. The tastings even better. Well worth a visit. Even those who do not like rum will start to enjoy it!

It doesn't matter if you're a rum drinker/fan or not. The tour (US$10/pers) is informative, entertaining and if you're lucky you get to drink, not one but two, rum punches and (being a rum lover) you get to do a lot of rum tasting (not the 1703). Head to the bar afterwards to try one of their signature cocktails or go to the store where you find their rum at the best price on the island.

Positive... The staff is lovely and so very professional. Disappointment,.. We signed up for the cocktail tour - the tour was interesting but not the mixology part. I thought we would get a lesson in making a cocktail then get to build one but in fact the 'mixologist' was more interested in talking to other staffers than us. He basically set us up and made it a competition and disappeared- didn't show us anything. This was supposed to be informative and fun but left us cold. The other couples were disappointed too. Thankfully Dario the tour guide had been such a pleasure, and wicked funny, and the staff inside the store and front desk very friendly and so we walked away loving the place. I would recommend the regular tour anytime.

A good stop while in Barbados at the Mount Gay Rum stop - informative about the history of rum making in Barbados and great samples to try after - Reasonable prices in the shop for a terrific product.

We'd visited carlisle bay that morning , and from the town centre we took a taxi to the distillery. $5 taxi ride per person, for the ten min ride. Entry to the tour was $10 per person. We arrived between tours so went for drinks in the bar. The lads behind the bars were excellent . They helped us to decide on what cocktails we would have and then showed us how each was made. They are very strong cocktails . We hadn't finished these as the tour began but we were told to take them with us , "you have two hands , you can carry another as well as that !!!" We listened to a talk , watched a video and then had shots of 3 different rums. Then out to the souvenir shop , they guarantee the best prices on their products , in the gift shop. Eclipse rum $13 . Further cocktails on the veranda made it a cracking afternoon prior to the cruise departure !!!

This was a 2nd visit to Mount Gay Rum. The Visitor Center had been completely redone & modernized since or prior visit. The quaintness we loved on our 1st visit is gone. It was still interesting, but we loved the old oak barrels & more casual presentation of rum processing from our 1st visit. Very modern presentation of rum processing now.

This visit is not to the distillery, but a visitor's centre which is attached to the bottling plant, so there is not much to see concerning the production of the rum. However, it was an interesting visit with an entertaining guided tour and plenty of samples of their products to taste.

Started with a short video presentation, then a tour of the facility, I may have this reversed, anyways it was all good. We sampled 3 varieties, then had a chance to purchase the good stuff at the bar. It was really good. ! bought some items to bring home in the gift shop, some of which would have been less expensive to buy at home. :-(I would highly recommend this tour!

Well, right away you can feel from the tour operator the important discovery of Rum made in the world! All the travellers on sail ships routing through Barbados and taking barrels of Rum back to there native ports. The economics of production on the Island, sugar cane, jobs and sales, not to mention a tourist attraction and it tastes great! The tour was excellent, the rum tasting even better, and there food was delicious too. You have to pay extra for there very best Rum for sale from the bar after, but a good shot and is it smoooooth! We even purchased some clothing and Rum of course-1.75litre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MMMMMMMMMMMM good!
